I am a Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Maryland, a Faculty Associate at the Maryland Population Research Center (MPRC), a Senior Research Fellow at FBK-IRVAPP, and a Research Fellow at both the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) and the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). Prior to joining Maryland, I held positions at Queen Mary University of London, the University of Padua, and the Institute for Fiscal Studies. My research develops econometric methods for causal inference and policy evaluation, and applies these methods to questions in labor economics, education, consumption, household behavior and measurement using large administrative and survey datasets. I have served as principal investigator on projects funded by national and international organizations in Europe and the United States.
